2 Samuel 22:1  David sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.

There is a song for every occasion. King David knew this. Whether he was sad or glad or mad, he wrote songs to express what was in his heart and on his mind. 

What’s on your playlist today?

It’s amazing how singing a song, or listening to one sung well, can shift our moods and redirect our thoughts. Where are your thoughts now? Where do they need to be? What songs will take you there?

There is one highway we drive frequently which requires a certain playlist. It is a playlist for recalling memories, for rethinking events long past. 

My bride has a curated collection of certain songs for when she is feeling blue. They remind her she is not alone in feelings like these. They refocus her on her sure hope. They help her sing her emotions until her emotions obey her command. Neil Diamond must have been right. 

Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one

Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
Sing them out again

Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow

Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know, it get to feeling good
You simply got no choice

Songwriters: Neil Diamond

Now is a good time to sing a song. What song will you sing?

I will sing praise to the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Our Father, thank you for giving us songs to sing. You bless us with expression deeper, higher, and broader than words can contain. You put a song in our hearts. Teach us to sing. Amen.

Daily D – Ruth 4:11-17

Ruth 4:11-17 All the people who were at the city gate, including the elders, said, “We are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who is entering your house like Rachel and Leah, who together built the house of Israel. May you be powerful in Ephrathah and your name well known in Bethlehem. May your house become like the house of Perez, the son Tamar bore to Judah, because of the offspring the Lord will give you by this young woman.” Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife. He slept with her, and the Lord granted conception to her, and she gave birth to a son. The women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the Lord, who has not left you without a family redeemer today. May his name become well known in Israel. He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. Indeed, your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him.” Naomi took the child, placed him on her lap, and became a mother to him. The neighbor women said, “A son has been born to Naomi,” and they named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David.

Daily D – Judges 16:20

Judges 16:20 Then she cried, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” When he awoke from his sleep, he said, “I will escape as I did before and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the LORD had left him.

Daily D – Judges 13:8

Judges 13:8 Manoah prayed to the Lord and said, “Please, Lord, let the man of God you sent come again to us and teach us what we should do for the boy who will be born.”

Daily D – Psalm 73:21-26

Psalm 73:21-26

When I became embittered
and my innermost being was wounded,
I was stupid and didn’t understand;
I was an unthinking animal toward you.

Yet I am always with you;
you hold my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will take me up in glory.
Who do I have in heaven but you?

And I desire nothing on earth but you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart,
my portion forever.

Daily D – Judges 6:14-16

Judges 6:14-16 The Lord turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and deliver Israel from the grasp of Midian. I am sending you!” He said to him, “Please, Lord, how can I deliver Israel? Look, my family is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the youngest in my father’s family.” “But I will be with you,” the Lord said to him. “You will strike Midian down as if it were one man.”
